(Apr 18, 2013)

When it’s time to start your sprinkler system for the season, inspecting your system early can produce big payoffs in water savings and lower water bills.

Tips include: watch each sprinkler while it's running to make sure they are working correctly; check for major problems such as line breaks or high water pressure; check the timer and schedule it for watering times based on current conditions and any watering restrictions in effect; and get a user-friendly water scheduling system.
